    Weird issues. My turn signals work one day then barely work the next,then not at all, then work fine again. Same thing with my aftermarket radio(which stopped coming on at all at this point). Also now my right rear brake light isn't working at all, even with new bulb and cleaned socket. Left brake light parking and reverse lights are all working fine. Any advice or suggestions? Thanks

    For the RR brake light check to see if there is power with brake applied on the Orange/Lt Blue wire where it exits the Crescent shaped signal switch connector... If it has power with brake applied, there is a problem in the harness between connector and lamp in back...

    If you mean the RR tail lamp isn't working at all, the socket ground is probably defective...

    Btw welcome...

    Also I'm looking for a floor shifter to change from column shift to floor. Any one have a floor shift they're looking to sell?

    Welcome to the site, you will get a better response on the shifter if you start a wanted thread in the classified section.
